AHU Cleaning in Eastry
AHU cleaning in Eastry from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Eastry
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you have rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, we can help, from internal panels, filter sections and heating and cooling coils onwards.
Smaller buildings around Eastry often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, where they’re easy to forget. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Leave it or put it right?
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Eastry at a time that suits you.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Your opening hours decide when we come to Eastry, not ours.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
How the job changes from site to site
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. Anything like that is recorded with pictures.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Eastry
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
